Xylem, composed of tracheids and vessel elements, is plant tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved nutrients upwards from the roots. This movement is driven by transpirational pull and the cohesive properties of water.
Xylem - made of tracheids and vessel elements cells- carries water and nutrients UP- by transpirational pull and cohesion tension
